Hot outside?

I live in Florida and my husband mentioned going to Disney Springs over this long weekend (it’s only about a 2 hour drive). Baby is 6 weeks old.

I’m totally down with getting out of the house lol but my only concern is do you think it’s too hot out for baby to be outside in a stroller for long stretches? It’s about 90 degrees here during the day. My stroller has a canopy that completely covers her from the sun save for a small mesh so I can see through to her. I EBF (extended breastfeeding, exclusively breastfeeding) so keeping her hydrated isn’t an issue, I can just pop her on any time

It's probably fine as long as she stays shaded and hydrated. But most importantly, take breaks and go somewhere to cool down (with AC). Because FL heat is so humid and muggy and babies can overheat even when shaded. I personally would also be worried about germs since she has not had her shots yet, but thats just me. I am naturally a worrier :/

This. And Disney Springs can get a little loud and crazy so I would be worried about that as well.

ETA there are people from all over the world there as well so that's something to take into consideration.

Here in south FL there’s people from all over the world and immigrants from all over everywhere... I can’t really avoid that. But I would keep her in the stroller covered at all times obviously nobody would touch her

I would be more nervous about the large crowd and germs since baby is so little. But i have bought a stroller fan for hot days when we are out. It doesnt blow directly on her just circulates the air around her.

Lol I know I live here. But I'm more so talking about a huge crowd of tourists in one place and whole lotta germs even in the air. It may just be me idk I just wouldn't personally. When I was pregnant I went to Disney springs and was getting my belly bumped into and all. People can be crazy on vacation lol. 🤷🏽‍♀️ but it's an individual preference

Central Florida here too! I’ve actually been dying to take my LO’s to Disney springs to give them some entertainment and me some exercise 😩 I think we’re going to still wait a bit longer because of this heat though.

We’re only a little over an hour away but for a two hour trip I wouldn’t do it because I don’t think it’d be worth it if you guys did get too hot

Your 7-month-old: Week 2

By now, you may have already told your baby that the phone isn't a toy, or that rattles aren't for throwing, or that her sister's hair isn't for pulling. At this age, your baby may begin testing your authority by refusing to follow your simple directions.
